After working in a few different Irish pubs during college, I got a great feel for this soup. I have played around with this recipe for years; I like this version the best. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ tablespoon salted butter
6 leeks, trimmed and chopped
3 cups chicken stock
4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks in the melted butter until softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken stock and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour about half of the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Pour the pureed soup back into the pot.
  • Stir in heavy cream and season with sea salt and black pepper.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

A hearty, creamy, and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The leeks add a subtle sweetness that pairs well with the potatoes and the bacon adds a smoky flavor. I also added a bit of fresh thyme which gave it a nice herby flavor.
